摘要

A reagent for the estimation of hydroxysteroids in serum comprising a hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, a coenzyme therefor, diaphorase, a tetrazolium salt and an inhibitor of non-steroidal hydroxyacid dehydrogenases, the said reagent being substantially free from hydroxysteroids and other serum components as well as a blank reagent for use in conjunction therewith in which the hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is omitted.
